Martial Peak

Inside the Starship power room, the young man who called himself Shen Tu wore a dumbfounded look, seemingly never having expected Yang Kai would frame him by planting stolen goods.

Immediately, he opened his mouth to defend himself, but when he saw the Saint Crystal in his hand, Shen Tu suddenly knew that anything he said would be useless.

With yellow mud smeared on his pants, no one would believe him if he said it wasn’t shit.

Understanding all this, he ignored Ke Meng’s fierce gaze as well as Yang Kai’s sinister behaviour and decisively closed his eyes while tightly gripping the Saint Crystal in his hands, madly circulating his Secret Art to refine the energy within it.

In that instant, he was like a starving beggar who was only concerned about having a last meal before he died.

This time it was Yang Kai’s turn to stare dumbfounded.

“Boy, you dare cause trouble on my watch? Your courage isn’t small!” Ke Meng sneered, rushing over to Shen Tu and thoroughly beating him.

He used a very heavy hand and the words he spat clearly indicated he didn’t care whether Shen Tu lived or died.

However, Yang Kai was keenly aware that Ke Meng was avoiding any critical damage to Shen Tu and was only causing him a great deal of non-lethal pain.

Obviously, he didn’t want to kill any of the cultivators here powering the Starship.

Ke Meng sneered as he continued dishing out this beating, insults and curses flying from his lips the whole time.

Shen Tu didn’t say anything or even attempt to resist, his face distorting in pain but still focusing all his attention on refining the piece of Saint Crystal, seemingly vowing not to surrender until he had absorbed every last bit of energy from it.

Yang Kai’s expression became thoughtful as his impression of Shen Tu underwent some subtle changes.

This guy’s performance a moment ago had thoroughly disgusted Yang Kai, but now it was undeniable that this youth had great fortitude and strength of spirit.

After a while, Ke Meng stopped his attack and after delivering a quick reprimand, turned around and left.

He didn’t take away the Saint Crystal held by Shen Tu, as if he was tacitly approving of him owning it; however, the price Shen Tu had paid for this piece of Saint Crystal was high, Ke Meng had beaten him black and blue, breaking his nose and causing blood to spill from his mouth.

Gazing at Ke Meng’s back which was disappearing into the darkness, Shen Tu wiped his mouth and a cold light flashed across his eyes.

Glancing over at Yang Kai next, he lightly sneered.

The piece of Saint Crystal in his hand, because of his unrestrained absorption just now, had lost much of its energy and grown dim.

A few breaths later, this piece of Saint Crystal directly turned into dust, which slid from Shen Tu’s palms.

Yang Kai narrowed his eyes slightly at this sight.
